People never ask me Hey Norman - what modules have you installed thus far on this wonderful Drupal 7 powered blog ?
-
Archive - monthly archives.
-
Disqus - although I had some problems with this module so I am currently using a simple Disqus block.
-
Global Redirect - ensures that 'node/1234' is redirected to '2010/21/22/blog-post'.
-
Google Analytics - mandatory to torment myself over visitors statistics using GA.
-
Markdown Filter - although I haven't fully embraced this yet. Old (raw HTML) habits die hard.
-
Mollom - Disqus provides built-in spam protection but I use Mollom to guard the user registration and contact forms which is very effective.
-
Pathauto - to map Drupal nodes to my date based permalink structure.
-
Token - required by Pathauto
-
Tagadelic - marvellous, configurable, graphic 'Tags' page to aid Bill's navigation of this site.
-
Wysiwyg - evaluating various options but not found nirvana as yet.
-
XML sitemap - produces search engine friendly sitemap.
I also modified the 'page.tpl.php' template to reinstate my wonderful, award winning rotating tagline (or slogan in Drupal terminology).
Curiously, I haven't enabled the D7 core 'blog' module as I don't need multi-user blogs. Each post is simply an 'Article'.
